The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey has issued an Extreme Heat Warning for the area, beginning at 2:38 AM EDT on Monday, July 14, and running through 8:00 PM EDT on Tuesday, July 15.
An Extreme Heat Warning is the highest-level alert issued by the National Weather Service for dangerous heat conditions. It indicates that very high temperatures or a combination of heat and humidity could be life-threatening for those without access to cooling.
Residents are strongly encouraged to stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces during the hottest parts of the day, drink plenty of water, and check on elderly neighbors, young children, and those with health conditions who may be especially vulnerable to extreme heat.
If you do not have air conditioning at home, consider visiting a public cooling center, library, or shopping center to escape the heat. Never leave children or pets unattended in parked vehicles.
